Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to a method for operating a strip treatment installation for processing a strip, in particular a metal strip or rolling material.
  • the disclosure further relates to a control device for operating a strip treatment installation for processing a strip, in particular a metal strip or rolling material.
  • the strip in particular a metal strip or rolling material
  • the strip may be delivered in material rolls, so-called coils, and unwound at the inlet of the strip treatment installation.
  • the processed strip can be rewound into a coil in order to facilitate transportation.
  • the strip is guided through the treatment installation by transportation rollers. Due to its geometric shape, the strip tends to run laterally, i.e., transversely to the transportation direction, away from the transportation rollers, in particular deflection rollers.
  • the treatment installation comprises a plurality of successive strip movement control devices spaced apart from one another along the transportation direction.
  • the distance between the strip movement control devices of a strip treatment installation can be several hundred meters, for example 300 to 500 m, wherein the strip movement control devices are typically autonomous from one another.
  • the strip movement control devices serve to keep the strip in the center of the transportation rollers transverse to the transportation direction, or in another fixed position transverse to the transportation direction. This ensures uniform treatment of the strip by the treatment installation and prevents damage to the strip or the treatment installation.
  • the strip movement control devices are therefore designed to detect and adjust the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • the strip movement control devices each comprise sensors for determining the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction and actuators for adjusting the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • the sensors detect one or both lateral edges of the strip.
  • inductive measuring frames or image sensors including image evaluation are known from the prior art.
  • the actuators are designed, for example, as swiveling rollers, which transfer a movement component to the strip transverse to the main transportation direction.
  • the sensors and actuators of a strip movement control device are connected to a control logic, which controls the actuators on the basis of the sensor data.
  • the strip movement control devices each detect the position of the strip in the strip treatment installation by means of the sensors, in particular transverse to the transportation direction. From the sensor data, the logic calculates a deviation of the strip from the target position, usually the center of the transportation rollers transverse to the transportation direction, and initiates a correction of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction by means of the actuators.
  • a corresponding strip movement control device is disclosed, for example, in WO 2009/030388 A1.
  • strip sabers Another problem with the prior art is rolling material with major defects transverse to the longitudinal direction of the strip, also called strip sabers. If the strip has such a shape transverse to the longitudinal direction, there is a large deviation from the strip target position to the next strip movement control device. Since the strip target position is usually in the center of the strip transportation rollers, depending on the direction of the error transverse to the longitudinal direction, it can occur in both directions transverse to the center of the strip transportation rollers. In order to be able to compensate for such errors, in the prior art, the width of the transportation rollers and, if necessary, the clear passage width of the strip treatment installation is extended accordingly. Since strip treatment installations can be several hundred meters long, this results in considerable additional costs.
  • errors can arise during strip treatment if, during treatment, the strip is not in the desired position, in particular the center of the transportation rollers. This is particularly the case with inline dressing systems, coaters, heat treatment devices or trimming shears.
  • the disclosure is based on the object of developing a method and a control device for operating a strip treatment installation for processing a strip, in particular a metal strip or rolling material, which reduces the negative influences of both rapid changes in the strip shape, such as so-called “dog-legs” in the region of weld seams, and larger defects transverse to the longitudinal direction of the strip, such as so-called “strip sabers,” and thus prevents damage to the strip and the strip treatment installation, avoids malfunctions and additionally reduces the production costs of the strip treatment installation.
  • the object is achieved by a method for operating a strip treatment installation for processing a strip, in particular a metal strip or rolling material, wherein the strip is guided by transportation rollers along a transportation direction through the strip treatment installation and the strip treatment installation comprises at least two successive strip movement control devices along the transportation direction, wherein the strip movement control devices are designed to detect and adjust the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, comprising the steps of:
  • Strip within the context of the disclosure corresponds in particular to metal strips or rolling material. “Transverse to the transportation direction” corresponds to a movement perpendicular to the transportation direction in the strip plane.
  • the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction is detected by means of suitable sensors.
  • sensors are sensors of the strip movement control devices of the strip treatment installation.
  • the sensors detect one or both lateral edges of the strip.
  • inductive measuring frames or image sensors including image evaluation can also be used.
  • properties of the strip are subsequently determined, which influence the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • These are in particular so-called “dog-legs” in the region of weld seams, strip sabers or comparable strip properties.
  • the sensor data is used to identify if the vertical position of the strip changes rapidly transverse to the transportation direction, which corresponds to a dog-leg of the strip.
  • a slow and steady change in the position of the strip transverse to the transport axis detects a so-called “strip saber.”
  • irregularities of the strip which influence the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, are identified.
  • the first strip movement control device will, if no further information is available, perform a control intervention and correct the position of the strip transverse to the transport axis by means of the associated actuator system of the strip movement control device. In the event of a dog-leg, this can lead to abrupt changes that can possibly have a negative effect on the strip and/or the strip treatment installation, in particular the corresponding strip movement control device. Since there is usually a certain distance between the sensor and the actuator of the strip movement control device, and continuous changes, as with a strip saber, are always associated with a control delay, the strip initially runs out of the strip target position, i.e., in a direction transverse to the transportation direction, before the strip movement control device corrects the strip position back to the strip target position.
  • Transport roller within the context of the disclosure refers not only to single rollers, but also from trans-regions with a plurality of rollers to form a transport surface.
  • the properties identified, which influence the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, are assigned to the corresponding points or segments of the strip.
  • the data detected by means of the sensors and subsequently evaluated are thus assigned to the corresponding points or segments of the strip.
  • a proactive adjustment within the context of the disclosure relates in particular to an early preparation of the adjustments to be carried out to the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, such that the adjustments can be carried out with the occurrence of the identified properties of the strip. This significantly reduces the control delay that would otherwise normally arise.
  • the proactive adjustment can also include a more uniform adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, although the identified property concerns a rapid change in the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction. This significantly improves the running smoothness.
  • proactive adjustment can also involve omitting adjustments to the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, in particular for rapid and short-term properties that affect the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction only for a very limited range.
  • the identified strip properties are responded to at an early stage, i.e., proactively, on the basis of the detected and evaluated sensor data on strip movement control devices, in order to avoid unnecessary or abrupt control interventions and to make the entire transport of the strip smoother and more harmonious.
  • Proactive adjustment can be performed by the strip movement control devices at the optimum point in time, since the identified properties have been assigned to corresponding points or segments of the strip and the position of the points or segments in the strip treatment installation can be easily determined at any time.
  • the method comprises the step of forwarding the identified properties with the corresponding points or segments of the strip from an upstream strip movement control device at least to the downstream strip movement control device in the transportation direction, preferably a plurality of the downstream strip movement control devices.
  • the method is implemented in the controls of the strip movement control devices and the corresponding data are transferred from the upstream strip movement control devices to one or more of the downstream strip movement control devices. This can preferably be effected via already existing means of communication, using other components or parts of the installation as well, such as a central control unit.
  • the method comprises transmitting the identified properties with the corresponding points and segments of the strip from the strip movement control devices to a computing device, wherein the computing device optimizes the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction for the transport of the strip through the strip treatment installation on the basis of the transmitted properties with the corresponding points and segments.
  • the computing device can optimize the transport of the strip through the entire strip treatment installation and make appropriate proactive adjustments to the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction for all strip movement control devices.
  • the computing device enables a holistic optimization for the transport of the strip through the strip treatment installation.
  • the optimization is based on machine learning methods or simulations, in particular for minimizing strip damage, avoiding uneven strip treatment by the strip treatment installation, minimizing the width of the strip treatment installation, avoiding damage to the strip treatment installation, in particular to the transport device and strip movement control devices, avoiding unnecessary downtimes of the strip treatment installation, for example due to emergency situations, or comparable optimization objectives.
  • a data-driven model is used to optimize the strip target position for the entire transport through the strip treatment installation.
  • proactive adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction is performed at the strip movement control device following in the transportation direction on the basis of the optimization of the computing device.
  • the result of the optimization is transmitted from the computing device to the downstream strip movement control device, wherein the optimization expediently takes into account the data of all upstream strip movement control devices.
  • the method comprises the step of comparing the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction optimized by the computing device with the actual position of the corresponding points or segments of the strip at the strip movement control devices and, if necessary, adjusting the actual position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction by the strip movement control devices. For each strip movement control device, the actual position of the strip is thus compared with the optimized position of the strip determined by the computing device and corrected accordingly in the event of deviations.
  • the method comprises feeding back to the computing device the deviations between the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction optimized by the computing device with the actual position of the corresponding points or segments of the strip for improving the optimization.
  • the proactive adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction at the corresponding strip movement control device following in the transportation direction can be further improved, in particular performed more uniformly.
  • the computing device can also use this information to assess and improve the quality and accuracy of the optimization.
  • machine learning algorithms can be further trained using such feedback.
  • the method comprises taking into account optimizations from the past with respect to the processing of another strip by the strip treatment installation when optimizing the position of the current strip transverse to the transportation direction by the computing device. This means that experience from previous optimizations is taken into account in the current optimization. If the previous proactive adjustments have proven to be effective for certain previously identified properties that affect the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, such proactive adjustments can be applied to comparable identified properties that affect the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, either accordingly or in a modified form, in order to take into account special features of the current strip, if necessary.
  • the method comprises training optimization algorithms on the basis of past optimizations with respect to the processing of another strip by the strip treatment installation.
  • the algorithms used for optimization i.e., for determining the proactive adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction at the strip movement control devices following in the transportation direction, are trained with data sets from the past, from other comparable strip treatment installations as well. This improves the initial accuracy of the optimization algorithms used.
  • the proactive adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction at the downstream strip movement control devices in the transportation direction takes into account the adjustments of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction carried out at the upstream strip movement control devices. If the proactive adjustment made at the previous strip movement control device has proven beneficial, the proactive adjustment at the subsequent strip movement control device can adopt it or at least use it as the basis for its own proactive adjustment. This allows the proactive adjustments of the strip movement control devices along the strip treatment installation to improve continuously. This is particularly advantageous in conjunction with the computing device for optimizing the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, since the computing device can thereby better optimize the transport of the strip through the entire strip treatment installation.
  • the computing device can compare and evaluate the proactive adjustments of the successive strip movement control devices along the strip treatment installation.
  • changes to the identified properties that influence the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction can be identified along the strip treatment installation and taken into account during optimization.
  • the strip treatment installation includes stretcher levelers, furnaces or other devices that change the properties of the strip, including the properties of the strip that affect its position transverse to the transportation direction.
  • the method comprises the step of taking into account information and/or data from installations upstream of the strip treatment installation during the proactive adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction and/or the optimization of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction by the computing device, in particular for the proactively adjustment and/or optimization of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction at the first strip treatment installation in the transportation direction of the strip treatment installation.
  • the upstream installations are selected from: Hot rolling mill, cold rolling mill, pickling line, welding machines, in particular four-point sensors or quality monitoring system of the welding machine, coiling device, or the like.
  • the method already has information and/or data on the strip before it is processed in the strip treatment installation, which can be taken into account during optimization.
  • this already enables proactive adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction at the first strip movement control device of the strip treatment installation.
  • information and/or data from the upstream installations can be used to determine properties of the strip that influence the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • the information and/or data from the upstream installations are, for example, asymmetries from a rolling mill (wedge, force difference, asymmetrical setting force, signal from flatness measuring roll), information from the setting system (flattener, stretcher leveler, skin pass mill), or the like.
  • the method further comprises the step of determining the position of points or segments of the strip in the strip treatment installation, in particular on the basis of tracking systems of the strip treatment installation. This can ensure that the downstream strip treatment installation makes the proactive adjustments for optimization at the exact point in time or time window when the strip has the appropriate feature, which adjustments affect the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • the position determination is based, for example, on monitoring the transport speed, for example by means of drive rollers of the strip treatment installation or the like.
  • the method comprises the step of detecting the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction between two strip movement control devices and transmitting the detected position to the upstream strip movement control device, the downstream strip movement control device and/or the computing device.
  • This makes it possible, for example, to check whether the proactive adjustments made are achieving the desired result.
  • the downstream strip movement control device or the computing unit can detect newly occurred position changes of the strip relative to the transportation direction and take them into account in the downstream strip treatment installation or in optimization in general.
  • the distance between two successive strip movement control devices is smaller at the beginning of the strip treatment installation than at the end of the strip treatment installation; in particular, the distance between two successive strip movement control devices increases in the transportation direction.
  • more information is available for optimization at the start of the strip treatment installation, and the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction can be set more precisely at the start of the strip treatment installation.
  • more information is available, in particular with respect to optimized positioning of the strip transverse to the transportation direction, in order to compensate for strip irregularities.
  • the method is carried out continuously.
  • the method comprises taking into account information from the strip movement control devices, in particular current information with respect to the adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • the information to be taken into account is, for example, current angles of attack of transportation rollers of the strip movement control device, alignments of parts or of the entire strip movement control device or comparable information.
  • the information is taken into account in particular when identifying properties of the strip that influence the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction or when proactively adjusting the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • adjustments to the strip movement control devices are taken into account during the proactive adjustment of the position of the strip transverse to the transportation direction.
  • the properties of the strip movement control devices can change, for example, due to maintenance work or the replacement of components, or due to wear over time, i.e., generally long-term changes.
